New York (CNN) When Ray Lucas and his girlfriend Shi'Ann Brown returned after a trip to the corner store to pick up milk, they found their Michigan home engulfed in flames -- and their twin daughters were trapped inside. His mother, who had been watching the 18-month-old girls, was panicking on the front yard in Eastpointe, Michigan, and trying to get help. I ran into the house to get my babies," Lucas, 23, told CNN. I did anything that any other father would do or should do," he said. He plunged into the burning building, quickly discovering that he couldn't see anything due to the flames.
